Geographic stomatitis and psoriasis

Abstract

5 new cases of geographic stomatitis are presented and added to a review of 32 similar cases reported in the literature up to 1987. Furthermore, a series of 70 consecutive patients with psoriasis were examined for oral mucosal lesions. Based upon the findings of the literature and the results of the present study, there seems insufficient proof to consider geographic stomatitis an oral manifestation of psoriasis.
